Chelsea have agreed to pay a fee in the region of £45.5 million (€53m/$59m) to bring in Felix from Atletico, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5710191/2024/08/20/joao-felix-chelsea-transfer-atletico/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>. There are no add-ons included in the transfer but the Blues have managed to incorporate a sell-on clause. Felix is heading back to Stamford Bridge for a second stint with the club having played for the Blues on loan previously during the 2022-23 season. Felix is expected to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-agree-joao-felix-deal-atletico-madrid-move/bltd7453e7760472f41" target="_blank">sign a six-year deal with the option for one more.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Felix's salary will fit in with Chelsea's current wage structure and his contract does include performance-related bonuses. He moves after a season spent on loan at Barcelona where he scored 10 goals and contributed six assists for the Blaugrana. Felix's switch also allows Conor Gallagher to head the other way. The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/conor-gallagher-chelsea-given-green-light-retun-atletico-madrid-complete-eur42m-transfer/blt3aaa20de8f9ab6e8" target="_blank">England midfielder is set to complete a move to Atletico</a> shortly.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Felix is set to become Chelsea's ninth signing of what has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/completed-chelsea-transfers-2024-25/blt2611fdaeaefac651" target="_blank">been a very busy summer at Stamford Bridge</a>. The Portugal international will join Tosin Adarabioyo, Aaron Anselmino, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman, Pedro Neto, Renato Veiga and Caleb Wiley in joining the Premier League side.

DID YOU KNOW

Felix will be hoping the transfer can be wrapped up shortly and he can make his second debut with the Blues. Chelsea are in Europa Conference League qualifying action on Thursday against Servette and then go in search of their first Premier League points of the new campaign on Sunday against Wolves.
